Yale, Harvard, Columbia, UPenn: Mid-Year Report?

Transfer Students

<p>Do we need to submit Mid-Year Reports to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and UPenn? If so, when are they due? I could not find details on the Yale and Harvard websites, but the Mid-Year Report appears on the Common App. Thanks.</p>

<p>Yes you do. There’s no absolute due date because timing depends on your school’s schedule. Once you’ve got grades in from midterm tests/papers would be a good time.</p>

<p>None of these schools requires a midterm report. Of the top-15 schools, I believe only Cornell requires a midterm report.</p>

<p>Actually, I believe Yale does</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. I couldn’t find anything on Yale’s website specifying that a Mid-Year Report is necessary for transfer applicants; do you have a source for that? As for the others, if I have a stellar set of grades would they mind if I send a Mid-Year Report anyway?</p>

<p>Well, considering that under “Required Application Materials” it says Midterm Grade Report quite clearly, I’m not sure where you were looking on their website :P</p>

<p>Columbia would like to have it, but after speaking to an adcom, I don’t believe it’s absolutely required (though their website says it is). The adcom said, we’ll just have less to judge you on, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.</p>

<p>My mistake, thanks.</p>

<p>What about those like Harvard which don’t specify?</p>

<p>All of the schools that knomrien mentioned require a Midyear Report. In trying to find a way to get the form to my daughter’s counselor so that she could complete it for my daughter, I finally found it at the CommonApp website: <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/DownloadForms.aspx[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/DownloadForms.aspx&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It seems that most of the schools listed will take a faxed version if it is too late to complete it online.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
